Interestingly on a Green Party MPs’ private bill, New Zealand has effectively outlawed the corporal punishment of children, and by an overwhelming majority.
“It is about our children and what I believe is their God-given right to grow up secure in the love of their family, valued as equal citizens to the rest of us and without the constant threat of legalised violence being used against them,” the law’s sponsor, Sue Bradford of the Green Party, said in parliament.
As you might expect, this also matched the policy of the Green Party of England and Wales.
